“I wasn’t implying that you did anything, ojou-san. That was towards the other Kaitou. You just also happen to be on their list to kill. Easier to group you both together for my question, though it shouldn’t be surprising that you’re a nuisance to them. Usually how people feel when they try to deny someone they actually have feelings for, and Pandora wouldn’t like that especially.” Smile, totally in Kid more and not implying anything on his end.
❝ … KID-kun, I can’t say I understand… Are you implying that that particular KID-kun has feelings for Aoko? Beyond the constant teasing? ❞
She wasn’t sure if all alternates were exact alternates, so she didn’t say ‘Kaito’ in his place.
“If he had no feelings at all, there wouldn’t have been so… violent or a reaction. As I am me and not him, I can’t say what those feelings amount to, though. Stronger the denial, the stronger those feelings are, if I absolutely had to guess, with regard to this.”

“So, just wondering… I obviously don’t really like Pandora either, so if I were to damage that one’s gem similarly, they’d both be after my head as well, correct? Because I find it funny I’m against the gem, but they don’t really want to do anything other than try to put me in the same state as them, unlike Aoko and my other other self.
“Another? Just how many have you seen to say that, keibu?” Head tilt. Not that he was completely surprised, since he does know his other selves. But no one else usually just comes up and mentions anything similar… On top of that… Nakamori felt a bit like that time with Akako’s necklace, with that grin… More than a little unnerving…
“You’ll be able to get away too easily if I don’t use these. That won’t be so good.” *The arms reached to grab at the thief again.*
“Then why even bother saying you want a challenge, if you’d prefer taking an easier way? I’d think it’d be more ‘challenging’ as you normally are.”
And nope, he’s backing away, far enough that even if the man went flat on the ground – times about two or three – he wouldn’t reach him. No. Even if he’s more energetic, he’s not stupid enough to let those get him.
“Besides, I’d think the task force was enough extra hands to begin with, you don’t need any more yourself. Guess they might suit someone who just wants to catch a criminal, but the two you have should work well enough. I thought you were getting better at using your head, not a direct charge, keibu. Wouldn’t be the most satisfying way of catching me if you never really beat me at the game I laid out, would it? Or have you just given up even trying that?”

“Two with the same stone as mine! But you don’t feel like them. That’s a shame. I was hoping for some challenge.” *Another unusual grin is plastered on his face. The spectral arms reach out for the thief’s throat and limbs.*
Same stone…? Ah, so this one was…
His eyes flicked up as he quickly stepped back and put some distance in between himself and the inspector. …Those arms didn’t look like anything he wanted to be near.
“Challenge? If you want that, then you shouldn’t cheat with things like those. I believe you took the phrase ‘taking a hand’ a little too literally, Nakamori-keibu, that stone included. And too much of that isn’t the best, all said.”
“The sun, and its light as it reflects off the river near a days end. It’s regal, elegant, and pure, and its beauty is only enhanced by what it surrounds. Eye-catching and confident, it’s something to be treasured. It is knowledge, a draw and trap for those who wish to steal, or a kindness and understanding and feeling of success for the ones who earn.”
“Warm affection, a kiss from someone you like. Tinged cheeks of embarrassment and the paleness of a blooming love. It’s bright and young, full of energy and health, not yet having the deepness of time and experience. Associated with femininity, yet works just as well for everyone, it’s intimacy and kindness, the soft touch of a rose’s petal.”
“Refreshing, the trees as the haze of daybreak shines on them anew. The coolness and soothing that follows a burning pain. Calmness in isolation. In darkness, it is the lighter shadows of the moon, and in the bright of day and light, it is the breeze that gently brushes against your face. The peace amidst anxiety.”
